I’m going to buy it from Apple and pay 50$ a month through financing but the only issue is they ask you to buy from one of three carriers
And I’m trying to understand what this means. Apple claims the phone are unlocked but why do I have to buy from a carrier? Does this mean I also have to buy one of their plans and I can’t go with any provider I want?
Different carriers use different standards, gsm and cdma. You gotta pick the one that has the antennas for the network you wanna use.
That’s probably old information, I’ll look into it a little more in a second.
I was wrong. It used to be a modem choice way back in the day but now they’re mostly the same. “Choose carrier later” is unavailable because you picked financing and the terms of financing require a carrier. If you choose to pay up front then you can pick no carrier and set one up later but it’s $30 more because they do some kind of discount for connecting right then.
